Heuchera 'Green Spice'
Green Spice Coralbells
Heuchera ‘Green Spice’ is an attractive foliage perennial valued for its silvery-green leaves accented with striking burgundy veining. It forms a neat, mounded clump of rounded foliage that emerges green with silver overlay and deep wine-colored veins, often developing richer reddish tones as the season progresses. In late spring to early summer, slender stems carry sprays of small creamy-white flowers above the foliage, adding light contrast and movement. Its distinctive leaf pattern provides texture and brightness in shaded plantings.
